Are you able to qualify Japan by the same criteria? Germany f'ed up beyond belief in the 1930-1940s, but paid the price and really has been great since. Japan's current PM has been televised honoring military that many others see as war criminals. Someone in his government (was several months ago, don't remember who exactly) was also quoted denying war crimes were committed. I'm not convinced that Japan should be included on that list.

Yeah, I honestly don't know much about the current regime of Japan, which is why I initially left them off. But their passive stance since WWII had me leaning their way. And again, it was kind of just thrown together based on where nations are at today and in the recent past.
As GGG said, really it would be just about keeping any countries currently at war off the judges bench. If engaged in any conflict, I don't see how you could be considered unbiased in something like this.
